"Like similarly powerful electrified rivals, the e-208 is at its best at low to medium speeds, where the car feels almost hot hatch quick. Above 50mph or so, acceleration tails off fairly sharply, at which point it feels no more potent than a mid-range naturally aspirated petrol equivalent.
The Peugeot will cruise comfortably at the motorway limit, but it requires surprisingly large throttle openings to do so and that has the expected negative knock-on effect on the range"

How much will that cost £35,000?...........we into Model 3 money here.

............& what if Musk ships in a China built Model 3 with a cut price Lituim Iron Phosphate battery, reduced the performance & range but still much better than this.

"“I expect 20 percent more displacement on average for these EU7 capable engines. A lot of manufacturers will jump from four to six, from six to eight [cylinders]. The regulations are completely counterproductive to CO2 regulations, so this will go up,” he added.

Car manufacturers will be left with two options, Autoblog notes. The first will be to compromise on power while the second will be to increase engine displacement. Porsche will take the second route but as bigger engines will burn more fuel and emit more CO2, Walliser says it will need to fit catalytic converters three to four times larger than those currently used, meaning there will essentially “be a small chemical industrial factory in the car.”


So, the playing field will be far from level....

What the 911 needs is a good old American big block V-8.


"...Walliser adds that Porsche is determined to keep selling the 911 with six-cylinder engines but admitted EU7 regulators will mean it will have to design and produce an all-new engine..."
